Chapter 36: The Destructive Power of the Giraffe! Marth vs. Kaku!
"The effect is strong, but it lasts too short…" says Wario as he gets up from his fall in the previous chapter. "I was thinking of saving this thing to beat up Mario, but then…" Wario looks up and sees that the upper half of the tower has slid off to the side even more. "This tower is falling anytime soon… How long is that blue hairdo and the giraffe gonna take their fight? Until the tower collapses?"

Spandam is dragging Samus up a long winding staircase. "The helicopter that will take us out of here is just up there!" says Spandam. "Nothing can stop us now! It's useless even if you try to struggle to escape, devil!"
-
Snake and Pichu are running through the passageway. "We must catch up with Samus and help her!" says Snake.
"I can hear noises coming from the room beyond!" says Pichu.
When they enter the room, they see Captain Falcon tired on the floor. "Falcon!" says Pichu.
CF turns to them and says, "You're here! And what on earth are you doing here, Snake?"
"Are you still angry at me about that?" asks Snake. "This is no time for that! I'm on your side now! What's the situation here?"
"That pigeon guy won't let me pass! I'm trying to beat him up so I can get pass him! Snake, can you help me go and get Samus? I really want to beat this guy up!"
"Leave it all to me!" says Snake, cracking his fist.
"And me too!" adds Pichu.
Lucci just smirks at their response.

Back with Marth and Kaku…
"I told you that if I could choose, I prefer meat!" says Kaku.
"It doesn't matter!" says Marth. "I must get the key from you before time is up, and if that happens, I lose! I will not let that happen!"
"You will have to defeat me first if you want the key and get out of here! I'm also in a hurry since the Annihilation Call is coming!"
"Watch out since that long neck of yours can be your disadvantage!"
"How many times are you going to say that?"
Without saying a thing, Marth runs at him and then performs a jumping upward slash. "Dolphin Slash!" Kaku quickly moves his head to the side to avoid it, and Marth drops back down while doing a downward slash. "Dolphin Dive!" Once again, Kaku avoids it. When Marth lands onto the floor, he jumps at Kaku again and slashes horizontally. "Dolphin Splash!" And it misses too…
"You can't move while you're in air," says Kaku. "You're leaving yourself wide open!"
"Oh no!"
"Giraffe Scythe!" Kaku swings his neck at Marth and smacks him onto the floor, and then he thrusts his head forward and tries to hit him with his big square nose. "Bigan!"
Marth quickly brings up both his swords in front of him and blocks the attack, but the force pushes him back and crushes him into the wall.
CRASH!
"Ugh! That hurts!" cries Marth.
"Now see my absolute defense! Tekkai No Weakness!" Kaku bends his neck to his back and coils his neck around his body, and he sits down and crosses his legs and arms together until he becomes a perfect square, and it even looks hilarious! "When I am a square, I have no weak spots!"
"CAN YOU BE SERIOUS!" Marth shouts at him.
"Do you know that a giraffe has four hooves?" asks Kaku, and then he wiggles his hooves around.
"ENOUGH OF THIS STUPID TRICK!"
"But I have already executed my attack. I let the Rankyaku hit the ceiling and reflect back down on you."
Marth looks up and sees the wind blades bouncing off the ceiling and falling back down. "Oh no!"
"Rankyaku Autumn Rain!"
Marth tries to use his swords to shield himself from the wind blades, but the amount is too much and he still got cut in quite a few places. "Ugh! There are too many to handle!" And Kaku uses Tekkai to protect himself.
When the downpour of wind blades finally stopped, Marth drops to his knees with cuts all over his body. Kaku unfolds himself out of the square form and back to normal, and then he thrusts his head forward. "Bigan!" The attack hits Marth and crushes him into the wall again.
CRASH!
"Do you have enough now?" asks Kaku.
Marth slowly gets back up again to his surprise.
"So you're still alive."
"That body hardening move of yours sure is annoying… Now I'm going to use the ultimate steel-cutting technique!"
"Really? Try it!" And Kaku runs towards Marth.
Marth pulls back his Level 2 Durandal, and when Kaku is near, he swings it forward very hard. "Shield Destroyer!"
"Rankyaku Dragon Claw!" Kaku jumps forward and performs a flying kick using both legs.
Both of them hit and clash through each other, and there was a moment of silence as they stood still after the attack. Then Kaku turns around and says, "I can choose whether I want to use Tekkai or not."
"Even this can't cut through that body hardening move?" says Marth, quite shocked. "Looks like it only works on real steel."
"Real steel or not, you cannot cut through my Tekkai!" Kaku runs at him and begins flailing his head around, trying to hit Marth. Marth counters by swinging both his swords in fury and blocking the hits.
The both of them kept up this attack for a while and the powerful force sent out by the attack even caused the wall and debris on the side to crack!
Kaku successfully scored a hit on Marth and knocked him backwards a few steps. "You'll never beat me!" says Kaku.
"We'll see about that!" says Marth, and he charges forward again with one sword sticking forward.
"Bigan!" Kaku strikes with his nose and blocks the single sword. While he is trying to push it back, Marth swings his other sword, the Durandal, at the one that is blocking Kaku, and the resulting force created a loud metal clashing sound and Kaku is sent flying backwards. "Bell Clash!"
CRAAAAAAAAAAASH!
"What strength just now!" gasps Kaku.
"You are too proud of your own powers," says Marth. "Pride will be the downfall of you!"
"The same goes too you! I'm going to go serious on you this time!" Kaku gets onto all four legs and his neck starts squeezing back into his body like a turtle withdrawing its head into its shell.
"What on earth are you doing now?"
"Take this! Giraffe Man Tower!" Kaku then shoots his head forward and it stretches very far towards Marth. Marth quickly jumps out of its way as the head hits the wall on the other side of the room.
"You sure can stretch your neck, but as I told you, this long neck will be your disadvantage!" says Marth, holding his sword above the neck and ready to bring it down.
"Oh yeah? Rankyaku White Screw!" Kaku quickly performs a spinning attack and twisting his neck like a rubber band in the process, and the attack also sent out a large wind blade in the form of a spiral, and it caught Marth off guard and cuts him in the body badly.
"YAAAAAA!"
Kaku gets back up and untwists his neck. "I'm going to do it again!" He gets onto 4 legs and squeezes his neck inwards again, but this time, his limbs grow long!
"What the!" gasps Marth.
"Oh no! I squeezed my neck too far in and it resulted in my limbs growing longer!" says Kaku.
"Do you even know how your body works?"
"Fear not, for I can make something useful out of this! A long neck is good, but long limbs are even better." Kaku stands up and he is much taller than before thanks to his now extended legs. "I'll call this move Pasta Machine!"
"Why on earth am I dealing with this silly giraffe man…?" Marth wonders to himself.
Kaku squeezes his neck into the body again and then shoots forward his head. "Giraffe Man Tower!"
"It's the same move from before!" Marth quickly jumps out of the way to avoid getting hit.
Kaku retracts his head and then jumps up to the ceiling and busts through it, and disappears into the upper floor.
"Hey! Get back here!"
A few seconds later, Kaku drops back down with two large swords in his hands. "I'm back again!" When he falls down, he clashes his sword with Marth's sword, and they both push each other towards the opposite direction.
"Planning to use your sword again, eh?" asks Marth.
"I am an expert in 4-Sword Style!" says Kaku.
"Whether you're a giraffe man, a 4-Sword Style user, or a living, walking weapon, I'm not going to lose to you!"
"Don't be too sure of yourself just yet!" Kaku charges at him while swinging his sword around and Marth counters it with wild sword swinging too.
Kaku is able to make a move that caught Marth off guard, and he kicks him to the other side of the room.
"YA!"
"Rankyaku Shuriken!" Kaku then kicks out several wind blades in the shape of a 4-point star.
Marth quickly uses his swords to knock them away, but he still got cut a few times. Kaku then runs to him and slams his neck on top of Marth. "Whipping Bamboo Forest!" But Marth rolled away just in time. Kaku tries to hit him over and over, but keeps on missing.
"If you're going to run around like that, then I'll increase the speed!" says Kaku. "Violent Bamboo Forest!" He begins slamming his neck against the floor really fast, and Marth got pummeled by it rapidly.
WHAM! WHAM! WHAM! WHAM! WHAM!
"OW! OW! OW! OW! OW!" cries Marth. Kaku is moving his neck so fast that it created an illusion that he has multiple heads!
Kaku finally stops hitting with his neck and Marth is all beaten up and bruised. "Giraffe Wrath!" Kaku then swings his swords around very fast and violently, and Marth tries his best to block them even though he is badly hurt.
"Ugh! I can't let this keep up forever!" thought Marth. He quickly gathers his strength and then slashes in an x formation. "Dragon Gate!" The slash penetrated Kaku's wild swinging swords and hit him in the body, and knocks him backwards.
"YAAAAAAAAAAAA!"
And the shockwave created from the powerful slash even cut holes on the walls!
"Ugh! What a powerful hit that was!" thought Kaku.
Marth then runs towards him and performs a spinning attack. "Starfish Cutter!"
"Kamie!" Kaku quickly dodges to the side, but though he did avoid the direct hit from the attack, he still got hit by the shockwave sent out by the attack. "Gyah! But I did avoid it!"
Marth lands on the floor and says to him, "It's too late for you to regret now!"
"That's it! I'll use Rankyaku Wide Sunder, the move that cut this tower in half, to cut you into two!" And Kaku begins performing a break dance on the floor.
"It's too late for you to do anything too!" says Marth as he runs towards Kaku.
"You're a fool to run directly at me! Rankyaku Wide Sunder!" Kaku kicks out a large wind blade ring at Marth.
"Wyvern Claw!" Marth swings sword around and amazingly cuts through the wind blade!
"What! He cut through my Rankyaku Wide Sunder!" gasps Kaku.
Marth jumps into the air and then dives towards Kaku. "Killer Whale Hunt!"
SSSSSSSSSSLAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAASH!
"GYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!" screams Kaku from getting hit by the powerful downward slash.
"I told you it's too late to regret," says Marth.
TO BE CONTINUED…
I tried to make it as exciting as possible, and also adding some humor into it. What do you think?
